Mancini has confirmed the club intend to appeal against Kompany's red card.

Defender Kompany was sent off for a tackle on Nani 11 minutes into the FA Cup third-round tie.

Asked what he thought of Foy's performance, after the red card and a late handball decision went against City, Mancini was reluctant to comment before finally saying: "I don't want to talk about the referee because I want to stay on the bench for the next match."

As the City captain has already been sent off for a straight red card offence once this season, he is facing a four-match ban unless he can overturn the suspension.
